Description

Shutdown control system and method

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of electric shock protection, in particular to a turn-off control system and a turn-off control method.

Background

In a distributed power generation system, a single dc power output is often insufficient to provide the voltage and power actually required, and therefore, multiple dc power sources need to be connected in series and parallel to meet the design requirements. However, the overall output voltage of a plurality of dc power supplies connected in series and parallel may reach hundreds of volts or even thousands of volts, and when a person approaches, serious electric shock accidents may be caused.

The existing electric shock protection scheme is that a turn-off circuit is respectively arranged on each direct current power supply, when a person approaches the electric shock protection scheme, a host device is triggered manually, a turn-off instruction is sent to control all turn-off circuits to turn off the direct current power supplies, and the integral output voltage of the direct current power supplies after being connected in series and in parallel is within a safe voltage. However, in the implementation process of the scheme, abnormal conditions of communication links such as the communication signals being absorbed or being blocked may occur, so that some shutdown circuits cannot receive shutdown instructions and are failed to be shut down, and therefore the following improvements are made: the host device also sends heartbeat signals to each shutdown circuit, and once the heartbeat signals of the host device are lost, the shutdown circuit knows that the communication link is interrupted, and directly disconnects the direct-current power supply at the moment.

The improved scheme can ensure that the direct current power supply is disconnected under the condition of communication link interruption. However, the improvement has the following problems: when the communication link is abnormal temporarily or randomly for many times, the direct current power supply is disconnected frequently, which seriously affects the availability of the distributed power generation system.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a shutdown control system, in which a main circuit is a series circuit formed by connecting output ends of a plurality of shutdown circuits in series, or a series-parallel circuit formed by connecting output ends of a plurality of series circuits in parallel; the input end of each turn-off circuit is respectively connected with at least one direct current power supply in the distributed power generation system, and when the input end of any one turn-off circuit is simultaneously connected with a plurality of direct current power supplies, the plurality of direct current power supplies can be connected in series, parallel or series-parallel. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention configures a shutdown circuit for each direct current power supply in the distributed power generation system, and the shutdown circuit can be configured in a one-to-one manner, or a plurality of direct current power supplies share one shutdown circuit.

The shutdown control system may be applied to a distributed power generation system (hereinafter referred to as a photovoltaic system) using a photovoltaic module as a dc power supply, or may be applied to a distributed power generation system using a storage battery, a super capacitor, a fuel cell, or the like as a dc power supply, without limitation. Fig. 1 merely exemplifies "applied to a photovoltaic system, one shutdown circuit is individually configured for each photovoltaic module, and there are 2 series circuits described above".

Still referring to fig. 1, the control circuit of the shutdown control system includes: the System Control Unit (SCU) and the Power Control Unit (PCU) that are provided corresponding to the shutdown circuit may be provided such that the shutdown circuit and the PCU are provided in a one-to-one manner, or all the shutdown circuits are divided into a plurality of groups, each group corresponding to one PCU. The SCU and the PCU respectively send mode control instructions when meeting respective conditions, the PCU is also used for obtaining a criterion according to each path of mode control instructions issued from the outside, judging a working mode of a shutdown circuit corresponding to the PCU to operate based on the multiple criteria, and controlling the shutdown circuit to operate in the corresponding working mode according to the judgment result, wherein the external equipment refers to the SCU and other PCUs.

The working modes of the shutdown circuit comprise a safe mode and a normal working mode. The two working modes are divided according to whether the shutdown circuit carries out electric shock protection or not, and the normal working mode is a mode except the safety mode.

More specifically, the normal operating mode is to control the distributed power generation system to normally operate according to an actual operating condition, for example, to perform maximum power operation, power-limited operation or standby operation according to the actual operating condition, without affecting the normal operation of the distributed power generation system, that is, without considering the risk of electric shock.

The safety mode is to limit the output voltage of the shutdown circuit so that the output voltage of the series circuit (hereinafter referred to as a string voltage) falls within a safety voltage range, thereby preventing an electric shock hazard when a person approaches. The limit value of the output voltage of the shutdown circuit is determined according to the actual situation, for example, the american NEC2017 requires that a photovoltaic system installed on a building should have a rapid shutdown function, after shutdown, the conductor voltage of an area other than 0.3m of the photovoltaic system does not exceed 30V, and for this scenario, assuming that 22 shutdown circuits are connected in series in 1 series circuit, the shutdown circuit can enter a safety mode that the output voltage of the shutdown circuit does not exceed 1V, and then the group string voltage does not exceed 22V, so that the safety requirement of 30V is met.

As can be seen from the above description, the PCU in the embodiment of the present invention can determine the operating mode in which the shutdown circuit should operate according to the mode control instruction sent by the SCU and according to the mode control instruction sent by any other PCU, and control the shutdown circuit to operate according to the determination result; even if a problem occurs in a communication link, when the PCU cannot receive a mode control instruction sent from the communication link, the PCU can still make a correct judgment according to another mode control instruction, and the shutdown circuit cannot operate in an error mode due to the fact that the PCU cannot receive the mode control instruction, so that adverse effects on the availability of the distributed power generation system under the condition that the PCU fails to receive the mode control instruction are avoided.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the PCU controls the shutdown circuit to operate in a safe mode, which may be a safe mode in which the output voltage is zero, or a safe mode in which the output voltage is not zero, and the implementation manners under different conditions are specifically described as follows:

the realization mode of controlling the shutdown circuit to operate in the safety mode with zero output voltage is at least as follows: 1) the voltage of the input end of the turn-off circuit is controlled to be equal to the open-circuit voltage of the direct-current power supply connected with the input end of the turn-off circuit, under the condition, the output current of the direct-current power supply connected with the input end of the turn-off circuit is 0, no energy is transmitted to the output end of the turn-off circuit, and the electric shock hazard can be avoided; 2) the current of the input end of the turn-off circuit is controlled to be equal to the short-circuit current of the direct-current power supply connected with the input end of the turn-off circuit, the voltage of the input end of the turn-off circuit is 0 under the condition, no energy is transmitted to the output end of the turn-off circuit, and the electric shock hazard can be avoided; 3) the connection between the input end and the output end of the turn-off circuit is directly cut off, or the turn-off circuit is directly controlled to stop.

The realization modes of controlling the shutdown circuit to operate in the safety mode with the output voltage not being zero are at least as follows: 1) controlling the voltage at the input end (or the output end) of the turn-off circuit to be kept at a set threshold value, wherein the threshold value is not zero; 2) the voltage of the input end (or the output end) of the control turn-off circuit periodically changes within a set range.

It should be noted here that, in the same shutdown control system, there may be multiple ways of implementing the safety mode at the same time, or there may be only one way of implementing the safety mode, and the method is not limited. In addition, the power supply of the PCU is generally taken from a direct current power supply at the front end of the shutdown circuit, and when power cannot be taken from the direct current power supply (for example, when the current at the input end of the shutdown circuit is controlled to be equal to the short-circuit current of the direct current power supply connected with the input end of the shutdown circuit), the PCU can take power from other direct current power supplies without short circuit or additionally configure an energy storage battery.

In the following, the topology of the shutdown circuit is described: the turn-off circuit internally comprises a switching device, and the working mode of the turn-off circuit is adjusted through the switching device.

For example, as shown in the topology of fig. 2, the turn-off circuit includes a switch S and a diode D, the switch S is connected between the input terminal and the output terminal of the turn-off circuit, and the diode D is connected in anti-parallel with the output terminal of the turn-off circuit. The working principle is as follows: closing the switch S, and communicating the input end and the output end to enable the turn-off circuit to operate in a normal working mode; disconnecting the switch S, cutting off current loops of the input end and the output end, and enabling the disconnection circuit to operate in a safety mode with zero output voltage; or, regularly opening and closing the switch S (for example, a PWM method with a fixed duty ratio or a PWM method with hysteresis comparison), repeatedly connecting and disconnecting the input terminal and the output terminal, and implementing smooth output of waveforms in cooperation with an inductor and a capacitor (or a parasitic inductor and a parasitic capacitor) in the system, so as to maintain the voltage of the output terminal at a set threshold. The diode D is used to provide a path for the current to bypass the series circuit after the switch S is turned off.

Or, the switch S may be connected in parallel to the input end or the output end of the turn-off circuit, and when the switch S is turned off, the turn-off circuit operates in the normal operating mode; when the switch S is closed, the voltage of the output end is reduced to zero; alternatively, the switch S is opened and closed regularly to maintain the voltage at the output terminal at a set threshold.

Alternatively, the shutdown circuit may be a DC/DC converter, such as a buck converter, a boost converter, or a buck-boost converter, and the DC/DC converter may operate in a normal operation mode or a safe mode by controlling a switching state of a switching tube inside the DC/DC converter.

Wherein the SCU may be a physically separate device, such as shown in fig. 1. Alternatively, the SCU may be integrated within existing equipment of the distributed power generation system, for example, the SCU is integrated within a photovoltaic inverter, in order to improve the system integration and reduce the system cost.

The PCU includes a receiver, a transmitter, and a controller. The receiver is used for receiving signals sent by the SCU and other PCUs and transmitting the signals to the controller, and the controller analyzes and processes the received signals, for example, analyzes received control instructions of each path of mode, judges whether the shutdown circuit is to operate in a normal working mode or a safe mode, and generates corresponding control signals to control the shutdown circuit to execute corresponding actions. The controller sends a signal via a transmitter, in which case the PCU normally has a specific device ID, and in the mode control commands received by the receiver, if the controller recognizes a mode control command that contains the PCU's own ID and requires a communication reply, a communication signal is replied by said transmitter, which normally also contains the PCU's own ID. In order to improve system integration and reduce cost, a transmitter and a receiver in the same PCU may share a part of the circuit, and a plurality of shutdown circuits may share one PCU.

In any of the embodiments disclosed above, the specific control logic of the internal program of the control circuit has at least the following 3 types:

control logic 1:

the SCU is used for periodically sending a first communication signal containing the ID of any PCU to the outside, and the sending of the first communication signal is stopped until a first user command is received; or the SCU is used for polling the IDs of the PCUs and externally sending a first communication signal containing the current ID, and the sending of the first communication signal is stopped until the first user command is received; the first user command is a starting command for electric shock protection of the shutdown control system, namely a command for indicating that a shutdown circuit operates in a safe mode (the same applies below);

the PCU is used for sending a second communication signal to the outside every time the first communication signal which is sent by the SCU and contains the ID of the PCU is received; the first communication signal sent by the SCU and the second communication signal sent by the PCU are both the mode control instruction;

each PCU is further configured to determine whether a first communication signal including an ID of any PCU sent by the SCU or a second communication signal sent by any PCU is received within a preset time T1, control a shutdown circuit corresponding to the PCU to operate in a normal operating mode if the first communication signal including an ID of any PCU sent by the SCU is received, and control a shutdown circuit corresponding to the PCU to operate in a safe mode if neither the first communication signal including an ID of any PCU sent by the SCU nor the second communication signal sent by any PCU is received within a preset time T1.

Specifically, under logic control 1, the first communication signal sent by the SCU is used as a mode control command, and is also used for instructing the PCUs to send second communication signals. If the communication in the shutdown control system is good, the first communication signal which is sent by the SCU and contains the ID of any PCU can be received by all PCUs, and the second communication signal which is sent by the PCU can also be received by all other PCUs, and at the moment, any PCU can make a correct mode judgment according to the first communication signal sent by the SCU and the second communication signals sent by other PCUs. If a PCU can only receive individual communication signals within time T1 due to poor communication quality, for example, only one second communication signal can be received, the PCU can still control the shutdown circuit corresponding to the PCU to operate in the correct operating mode, and the PCU cannot mistakenly enter the safe mode due to receiving no first communication signal sent by the SCU, so that the system availability is improved. The greater the number of PCUs for outgoing second communication signals, the higher the reliability of the shutdown control system.

The SCU in the control circuit and each PCU are in the same communication interval, for example: the SCU and the PCUs are all coupled to a dc Power Line (the manner in which the SCU is connected to the positive and negative poles of the dc Power Line in fig. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and actually, a current transformer may be coupled to the dc Power Line), and interaction is performed in a PLC (Power Line Carrier Communication) manner. At this time, in order to avoid a plurality of PCUs from causing a communication collision to send out the second communication signal simultaneously under the trigger of the SCU, or avoid two PCUs from sending out the second communication signal simultaneously to each other under the trigger of the SCU from causing a communication collision, the embodiment adopts the following anti-collision mechanism: the SCU is pre-stored with ID lists of a plurality of PCUs, the IDs of the PCUs are different (the ID of the PCU can be a factory number pre-stored in the memory of the PCU at factory, for example, 1706031234 containing a date and a serial number, or the ID of the PCU can also be a code manually set in field application, for example, a code recorded by a dial switch, a key, a touch screen or a communication interactive upper computer on the PCU in field application, or the ID of the PCU can also be a communication address dynamically allocated based on communication networking, for example, one of 001-255 dynamically allocated based on a modbus protocol), the SCU polls the ID lists to send the first communication signals containing the specified IDs to all the PCUs, each PCU analyzes ID information in the first communication signals after receiving the first communication signals, compares the ID information with the ID of the PCU, and sends second communication signals to the outside if the ID information is consistent with the ID information of the PCU. Therefore, the time for sending the second communication signal by different PCUs is staggered, only one PCU is ensured to send signals to the outside at the same time, and communication conflict is avoided.

And the control logic 2:

the SCU is used for periodically sending a first communication signal and a third communication signal containing the ID of any PCU to the outside, and the sending of the first and third communication signals is stopped until a first user command is received; or the SCU is used for polling the IDs of the PCUs, sending a first communication signal and a third communication signal containing the current ID to the outside, and stopping sending the first and third communication signals until receiving a first user command;

the PCU is used for sending a second communication signal to the outside every time the third communication signal which is sent by the SCU and contains the ID of the PCU is received; the first communication signal sent by the SCU and the second communication signal sent by the PCU are both the mode control instruction;

Control logic 2 differs from control logic 1 in that: the first communication signal is sent by the SCU only as a mode control command, and the SCU uses the third communication signal to specifically instruct the PCUs to send the second communication signal. The working principle of the control logic 2 can be described with reference to the related description of the control logic 1, and is not described herein again.

Optionally, under the control logics 1 and 2, a second communication signal sent by the PCU can also be received by the SCU at the same time, where the second communication signal may include sampling data of the PCU or self-operating state data, where the sampling data is, for example, self-input/output data, and the operating state data is, for example, self-continuous operating time, whether the operation is abnormal, or not. When there are multiple PCUs all replying to the SCU with a second communication signal, the second communication signal should also contain the ID of the present PCU to facilitate the SCU in distinguishing the second communication signal from a different PCU. Of course, when only one PCU replies to the SCU with the second communication signal, the second communication signal may include the ID of the PCU itself.

In addition, under control logics 1 and 2, after the SCU stops sending the first communication signal and the PCU stops sending the second communication signal, the SCU and the PCU are not prohibited to send another communication signal again, and the SCU and the PCU can be distinguished from the original communication signal as long as the SCU and the PCU can be distinguished from the original communication signal, and the distinguishing method can be distinguished by instructions contained in the communication signal, for example: the first communication signal and the second communication signal also comprise a normal working mode instruction; after receiving the first user command, the SCU sends a fourth communication signal which simultaneously contains the current ID and a safety mode instruction to the outside; the PCU is also used for sending a fifth communication signal containing a safe mode instruction to the outside every time the fourth communication signal containing the ID of the PCU and the safe mode instruction sent by the SCU is received. In this way, even after the PCU stops sending the second communication signal, the fifth communication signal can carry data to be returned to the SCU. When there are multiple PCUs that all reply to the second communication signal to the SCU, this fifth communication signal should also contain the ID of the present PCU to facilitate the SCU in distinguishing the fifth communication signal from a different PCU.

And the control logic 3:

the SCU is used for sending a sixth communication signal which simultaneously contains the ID of any PCU and a normal working mode instruction to the outside when receiving a second user instruction, and sending a seventh communication signal which simultaneously contains the ID and a safety mode instruction to the outside when receiving a first user instruction; or the SCU is configured to poll IDs of the PCUs, send a sixth communication signal including a current ID and a normal operating mode instruction to the outside when receiving a second user command, and send a seventh communication signal including a current ID and a security mode instruction to the outside when receiving a first user command;

the PCU is used for sending an eighth communication signal containing a normal working mode instruction to the outside when receiving a sixth communication signal which contains the ID of the PCU and the normal working mode instruction and is sent by the SCU each time; when receiving a seventh communication signal which is sent by the SCU and contains the ID of the PCU and a safety mode instruction, sending a ninth communication signal containing the safety mode instruction to the outside; the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth communication signals are the mode control commands;

The control logic 3 differs from the logic control 1 in that: the logic control 1 uses the sending and stopping of one signal to send an instruction to indicate whether the shutdown circuit is to operate in the normal operation mode or the safe mode, and the control logic 3 uses two signals containing different instructions to directly indicate whether the shutdown circuit is to operate in the normal operation mode or the safe mode.

Optionally, under the control logic 3, the eighth and ninth communication signals may include sampling data of the PCU or running state data of the PCU, and are returned to the SCU. When there are multiple PCUs all replying to the SCU with the eighth and ninth communication signals, the eighth and ninth communication signals should also contain the ID of the present PCU.

the control circuit includes: the SCU and the PCU are arranged corresponding to the turn-off circuit;

referring to fig. 3, the shutdown control method includes:

step S01: the SCU and the PCU respectively send mode control instructions when respective conditions are met;

step S02: the PCU obtains a criterion according to each path of mode control instruction issued from the outside, judges a working mode to be operated by a turn-off circuit corresponding to the PCU based on multiple criteria, and controls the turn-off circuit to operate in a corresponding working mode according to a judgment result, wherein the external equipment refers to the SCU and other PCUs;
